movies will continue to be popular although big theater experience of watching poo poo in a theater is on its way to dying and once marvel movies finally die because everyone gets bored of them movie theaters will start going bankrupt at crazy rates netflix/streaming movies will continue to be popular though, that might actually encourage more niche films like ex machina instead of avengers 10 or whatever which is good granted though china loves big blockbusters so expect marvel to feature chinese ironman compete with Xi Jiping cameo in like 10 years or so lol Typo has issued a correction as of 21:06 on Feb 10, 2019 |

It'll likely just be with all of the other films on streaming, just better tailored to metrics captured from those sites. It's also possible mass market films like that just slowly die off as the budgets for those get divided into separate movies of more narrower mainstream appeal. China still needs to open up to the idea of time travel movies though

RFA and their turkestan separatist goons claimed that Abdurehim Heyit got tortured to death in a concentration camp. Like in North Korea, communism has the power to resurrect people from the dead Of course, they aren't happy that he is alive: quote:Nury Turkel, chairman of the US-based Uyghur Human Rights Project, told the BBC that some aspects of the video were "suspicious".

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/29/bill-gates-davos-global-poverty-infographic-neoliberalquote:Moreover, the few gains that have been made have virtually all happened in one place: China. It is disingenuous, then, for the likes of Gates and Pinker to claim these gains as victories for Washington-consensus neoliberalism. Take China out of the equation, and the numbers look even worse. Over the four decades since 1981, not only has the number of people in poverty gone up, the proportion of people in poverty has remained stagnant at about 60%. It would be difficult to overstate the suffering that these numbers represent.

As it happens, the economic success of China and the East Asian tigers – as scholars like Ha-Joon Chang and Robert Wade have long pointed out – is due not to the neoliberal markets that you espouse but rather state-led industrial policy, protectionism and regulation (the same measures that Western nations used to such great effect during their own period of industrial consolidation). They liberalized, to be sure – but they did so gradually and on their own terms.

The CIA has gone full nuclear, pushing this "concentration camp" narrative by wheeling out a bunch of shills and useful idiots to post photos of "missing family" on Twitter, demanding proof of life videos under the hashtag #MeTooUyghur

You only think those things are bad because you’ve been brainwashed by bourgeoise liberal ideology that values so-called “human rights” above the right of the proletariat to engage in class struggle against backwards elements. ok gonna go throw up now

I mean yeah the weaponization of human rights violations by the West against governments they don't like is absolutely a problem and mainstream media's attempts at boosting the profile of the the Uighur so-called concentration camps to create some kind of plausible pretense for interventionism is not great

I have been wondering if the Uighurs camps are different from Mao's anti rightist educational camps from the 60s. I don't remember seeing any picture of the righist camp, at least we have some picture of the Uighurs camp. Btw its impossible for me to spell the word "Uighurs" correctly without looking up the word. Why can't English have more consistent spelling.
